The scholarship is to celebrate the life of Belinda Prewitt and her awesome strength in her fight against cancer. Belinda Prewitt who was an advocate in helping “What A Girl Wants” Events for a Cure that raises money for Breast Cancer Care and Research.

This scholarship was created for those everyday rock stars, and will be awarded to a student that has gone above and beyond to assist their family during a time when a family member has suffered a medical crisis. Giving up the care free life of youth to become a care giver is an amazing and heartfelt gift of unconditional love. Rock Star applicants must be nominated by a family member, mentor or close friend. What a Girl Wants believes that the process of healing involves family and friends coming together to create a support system. Young people often become key members of that support system, sometimes having to face very grownup realities and decisions. When they do, these young people become a solid “rock” in their families. And so, we call them our rock star.

The scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $1,000. To nominate a student for this award, please visit The Troy Foundation’s website at www.thetroyfoundation.org and complete the nomination instructions found under the “Scholarship” tab and the Scholarships Available under Life is a Journey tab.

Nominations are due by March 18 and can be mailed to: The Life is A Journey — Don’t Stop Believing Scholarship Fund c/o of The Troy Foundation, 216 W. Franklin St., Troy, OH 45373. For additional information, contact Lisa Reynolds at 339-8935 or emailed to lreynolds@thetroyfoundation.org
